Abstract
A 2.2-kb fragment of genomic DNA encoding Schistosoma mansoni immunophilin p50 (Smp50) was identified on a 14-kb genomic clone. The sequence of Smp50 reveals seven exons interrupted by six small introns ranging from 28-35 bp in size. The transcription start point, defined by primer extension analysis of schistosome RNA, begins at 30 bp upstream from the start AUG codon. Smp50 lacks a TATA box and appears to be a single-copy gene.
